The Colored Museum is a thought-provoking, satirical show that has delighted and discomforted audiences since it was written by George C. Wolfe in America in 1986.
"From the moment perky flight attendant, Miss Pat, tells us to "fasten your shackles" and insists that there must be "no drumming", it's clear it's going to be a bumpy ride. This fearlessly funny skit on the transatlantic slave trade sets the tone for George C Wolfe's shameless satire that both celebrates and mocks African-American identity and stereotypes."
